Transformer ironing boards: pros and cons, selection tips

Among all household chores, ironing is special. For some housewives, this is a way to relax and plunge into their thoughts, for others - a real torment. To ironing faster, easier and more convenient, you should purchase an ironing board, especially today the modern market offers a huge variety of such designs. The most successful choice will be a transformer ironing board, which is a folding design that can be built into almost any furniture.

Today there are several varieties of ironing boards, which can be transformed into other interior items or built into furniture.

• Ironing board - mirror. This design, as you can see from the name, has two purposes. At a time when you do not need to iron clothes, it easily turns into a wall or floor mirror, and if it is necessary to perform household duties, the board reclines without any problems.
• An equally practical option is an ironing board integrated in kitchen cabinets. It should be removed only if necessary, and on ordinary days it is hidden behind the doors of kitchen furniture.

• Design equipped with a pedestal. This option cannot be hidden or hidden, but there is additional functionality of the design, which now can also act as a storage space.
• Similar to the previous variety - an ironing table. By slightly modifying a quote from a famous Soviet film, let’s say that with a flick of the wrist, the ironing surface turns into a table (and vice versa).

In fact, the positive and negative sides of such designs are quite subjective. For example, on the one hand, a transformer board is an ideal solution for those who are too lazy to constantly assemble and disassemble the classic design (this primarily applies to those who iron each day, for example, mothers of newborns). On the other hand, some of the models can take up quite a lot of space, for example, modifications with pedestals and tables, and more compact designs are quite difficult to assemble and require significant financial outlay. In any case, the choice is yours.

First of all, your choice should be based on the size of the room in which you live. So, for someone, the classic version is suitable, which can be folded and put in a closet. For others, a transformer board will become a more acceptable option. Your choice should be based on the area of ​​your premises and its functionality.

For example, for corridors and halls, a transformer board will be an excellent option, for offices - a board-table. However, it is important to consider not only the features of your home, but also your individual preferences.
